How does a society run with so little roles? There are 3-dozenish handmaid's in this town, do they only go with commanders? This city seems like the most important one in the country, ground zero, what do other parts of the country look like?

Good call. I moved them up. I wasn't thinking when I added them to the bottom of the list

That is my guess. She hasn't done something "wrong" so she can stay with her husband. You would think the commanders and their wives would be so desperate for kids though that they would be pulling in fertile econowives.
